I learned how to edit by asking questions, sucking the brains, of any editor that would answer and teach me. I developed my craft. I won state and national awards.
As technology and software changed over the years I realized that if you know how to copy and paste in a Word document, you can edit. It’s the basis of all editing, even video. Knowing the technical aspects of editing and learning the new software don’t make you a great or even a good editor. Knowing why you use certain shots, at specific times, and how to use sound are some of the elements that make you a good editor. I teach college students and professional video editors the theory of the edit. I am teaching my replacements. Regardless of the platform, Avid, Final Cut Pro or another system, I focus on editing elements that every person can incorporate in the classroom or on the job. I encourage questions and discussion. I am available after the class or event has ended to mentor anyone who wants to learn more. Contact me if I can add value to your classroom, workshop or seminar. |
